Mine are not the usual New Years Resolutions. Leading up to the New Year I have been brought to my knees by the necessity of being more humble, vulnerable and innocent … just in time for winter solstice, the turn to increasing light which precedes the new year.

There is a deep process in each of us that directs our unfolding into our true essence and wholeness. I have been privileged to access this place in myself through Aviva's brilliant work, Painting From the Source®. More and more my whole self is alive with the creative flow that not only comes out through my paintings ( as if that wouldn't be enough!) but in all areas of my life. My life has become a seamless work of art! Thank you Aviva and thank you Source. I am grateful beyond measure. Janet Wing MSW LICSW 2017

Scary images of monsters and half forgotten predators visit our paintings unannounced, like unexpected nightmares when we sleep. The brain activates our senses; it feels so real we want to get away. We want to rip up the painting and begin again. For many of us the early path to free ecstatic creative flow is strewn with surfacing energetic entities, demonic, crude and terrifying that demand our attention. We say, “Oh I needed to get that out of my system. That is the past. Now I can discard this monster, this muddy mess and take a new paper to paint something pretty, something uplifting".

If you have not attended a PFTS workshop and are curious to know what it is about, listen to this Interview of me by Royda Crouse on her radio program in Columbia MO, 2004, "Woman’s Issues, Woman’s Voices”.

I practice a healing technique based on the teachings of Bruno Groning (who surfaced in Germany after World War II). In group meetings(Circle of Friends) every three weeks and twice a day at home, I sit and ask for healing of mind, body, and soul plus I ask for others in need and the planet. I take in the universal healing energy stream through my body. I read about and witness many other people receiving medically verified healings plus success in receiving lost items, the perfect home, improved relationships, and much more.

Lately, I often find myself saying the phrase, “You just never know” as in “you just never know what will happen”. I have big hopes thatseem improbable to my small mind, like gathering community to buy a seven hundred thousand dollar property in Oracle AZ for a creativity retreat. But really, "you just never know". Right? When fear and doubt begin to creep in, saying “you just never know” reminds me of the magic which abounds in the universe. I pray and do rituals for my personal visions, healing for others, world peace and love. Prayer and positive thinking work.
